Calculate your exact charges
How charges are calculated for this route
United States assesses duty on the customs value of your shipment (goods value, excluding freight — FOB basis). The base rate depends on the product's HS classification. Goods of certain origins may attract additional measures (Section 301, Section 232, IEEPA) that stack on top of the base rate. The United States no longer has a duty-free threshold: the 800 USD de minimis exemption has been suspended for all countries of origin since 29 August 2025, CBP made the suspension indefinite by rule in June 2026, and the exemption is repealed by statute from 1 July 2027.

Frequently asked
Do I pay duty on the shipping cost? No — United States assesses duty on the goods value only (FOB). Freight and insurance are excluded from the dutiable base, though they still count toward your landed cost.
Is there a threshold below which nothing is charged? No. United States charges from the first unit of value — the de minimis exemption does not apply on this route.
How current are these rates? Base rates come from the official tariff schedule and are refreshed weekly; additional measures are checked against the published notices. Last verified 05 Oct 2026.
